Vista, Windows Defender - Startup Programs

My OS is Windows Vista Business and I am attempting to disable the auto
startup of a program.

I located the program in Windows Defender, Category: Startup Programs but
all options to "Remove, Disable and Enable" are grayed out. I also noticed
the majority though not all auto startup programs in the Startup Category are
grayed out.

Why is this?

What other course of action may I take to disable the unneeded auto startup
of unnecessary programs?

Also, my inquiry pertains specifically to an HP Digital Camera software.

Thank you - Mark
 
Run > msconfig > Startup then, uncheck the item that you want disabled.

Ccleaner or Autoruns or several other programs can all be used to delete
startup items, too.
